Aberdeenshire / Re: Kingseat Hospital Completed thank you
« on: Wednesday 23 August 23 10:24 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for all the replies. I think I might have misunderstood the story of her being in an institution and focused on Kingseat as it appeared on electoral rolls with Parkhill. I have now received her entry on the 1939 register and she is definitely at the address in Parkhill and described as 'incapacitated'. I have tried to find a connection between her and the family living at Moss-side but no luck so far.
Thank you again for the help and suggestions.

Thank you. I hadn't thought of looking at the valuation rolls. I had just tried electoral registers and she didn't appear on any that I could find. Perhaps she was just working in the house then.

Aberdeenshire / Kingseat Hospital
« on: Tuesday 08 August 23 17:15 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out if an address on a death registration was part of the Kingseat Hospital village. I have a relative who died in 1951 at the infirmary in Aberdeen but her usual address was Moss-side, Parkhills, Dyce. As far as I know she lived in an institution but do not know why. On the 1921 census she is living at home with her parents in Clatt. Her mother dies shortly afterwards and in 1926 her father is advertising for a housekeeper so I think she may have gone to live somewhere in this period. On the death registration the informant is a John McMath who is, what looks like, the occupier.

Me too. We haven't laughed that much in ages. James Corden was excellent.

World War One / Re: How fallen soldiers are identified

Yes, the burned papers are going to make things much more difficult. It would be nice if everyone could be identified but that looks doubtful. Still a few more soldiers identified will give closure to a lot of families.

Yes, it was. I watched a tv programme recently on the ITV Hub "Long Lost Family Special: The Unknown Soldiers" showing the work that is involved.
